Rooms by Sea, Málaga Overview
Rooms by Sea is located in Málaga, Spain. Rated 6.7 out of 10 based on 78 guest reviews.
Rooms by Sea is a practical stay in Málaga, Spain, positioned on Calle Comandante Román, 6 4a, making it a straightforward base for beach days and city sightseeing. The setup is geared toward travelers who don’t mind sharing a kitchen and using a shared lounge/TV area, while still valuing privacy inside their own rooms. Soundproof rooms and air conditioning help you settle in comfortably after time on the coast, and the property is non-smoking throughout.
Guest feedback is mixed but informative: with a 6.7/10 score from 78 reviews, many visitors appreciate the overall convenience and the calm feel created by soundproofing, while others point to the shared facilities and the need to coordinate around common spaces. Several guests also mention that cleanliness standards between stays are taken seriously, including coronavirus-focused disinfection practices, which can matter for health-conscious travelers.
For nearby context, you’re roughly 1–2 km from San Andrés Beach and Playa de la Misericordia, so sunrise walks and easy swims are within reach. If you want Málaga’s cultural highlights, the Picasso Museum is about 5 km away and the Alcazaba sits around 5.5–6 km from the property, reachable by a short ride or a longer stroll depending on your pace.
Rooms by Sea is best for solo travelers and couples who want a low-friction base near the sea, and for families who are comfortable with a shared-living format. The hotel also offers family rooms and kids’ outdoor play equipment, which can help keep younger guests entertained between outings.

Should You Book Rooms by Sea?
Worth considering only if you’re comfortable with a shared kitchen and shared lounge/TV setup. With a 6.7/10 rating from 78 reviews, it’s a practical base, but it’s not a standout choice compared with higher-rated options.
Best For
- Budget-minded travelers who want a straightforward base for Málaga sightseeing and beach days
- Travelers who don’t mind using shared spaces (shared kitchen and shared lounge/TV area) to keep costs down
- Families needing air conditioning and family rooms, plus kids’ outdoor play equipment
- Light-to-moderate privacy seekers who value soundproof rooms and non-smoking accommodations
Not Ideal For
- Guests who need a fully private, hotel-style experience without shared kitchen/lounges
- Travelers who strongly prioritize consistently high guest satisfaction, given the 6.7/10 rating
- Those who want the main sights to be very close on foot, since key attractions like the Cathedral, Picasso Museum, and Alcazaba are several kilometers away
What to Expect
Check-in runs from 3:00 PM to midnight, and you’ll likely settle into a more home-like rhythm with access to a shared kitchen and a shared lounge/TV area. The property is positioned as a practical base for beach days and city sightseeing, so expect to spend most of your time out exploring Málaga rather than staying in. Reviews average out to a modest 6.7/10, suggesting a workable stay for some guests but not a universally impressive one. The presence of air conditioning, soundproof rooms, and allergy-free options can make day-to-day comfort feel more manageable during your visit.
